📝 Document why open universes are rejected

Add a README Caveats subsection with user-facing guidance for the two
open-universe shapes: parse external input at the boundary down to a
finite union, or use a runtime Map registry for extensible domains.
Point the finite-universe bullet at it, and point the rejected
fix/open-universe-* entry in development/library.md back at the new
guidance, so rule and decision cross-reference without duplicating each
other.

non-self-referential parameter type (`{ [K in keyof H]: … R … }` gives

the fallback widens it); `IsLiteral` is the finite-literal predicate.

user-facing consequence — open universes are a parsing or registry concern,
not a dispatch one — is guidance in README § Why open universes are rejected.
- **`Member<T, K>` without the gate:** sound, but a colliding handler gets a
union and `1 | "1"` stays one runtime key.
- **A round-trip injectivity gate** (`IsEqual<T, PatternParam<PatternKey<T>>>`):
